Super Bowl (Revisited)

suberunker — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 05:47:50 +0000

We take the opportunity to talk about this year's Super Bowl (since our first episode still had a lot to be desired), but we really end up just diverging to different topics... as usual for the show. In the end, this episode is really just about the word "crusty", movies, and John's party plans. We apologize that there seems to be some bumping sound that keeps appearing (we were not recording in our usual location).

Intro/Outro Music: On the Rebound by Floyd Cramer

Stuff #36 Mailbag: Toes?

suberunker — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 17:28:22 +0000

We do a quick look at the old mailbag as we try to catch up on all the emails you sent us before. We discuss Capcom video games, the degradation of the IMAX brand, automatic hammers, some elevator movie, the Abyss, and how much money James Cameron makes for "Fox". Have a quick enjoy.

Stuff & Suggestions #24: It’s Pornyo

suberunker — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 04:16:00 +0000

We attempt our first online-only recording to low-level and possibly mixed-middle results? It's a weird experience, and likely one we won't try again till we get everything squared away. But once we get there, we'll finally have our online live shows. Anyways, we get through some of your mail in a quick and hurried fashion. This is a short one, so try to soak in the depth of the microphone noise.

Stuff & Suggestions #22: Stool Sample Freezing

suberunker — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 05:51:08 +0000

We go through pretty much just the Mailbag in this episode. Albert's sexy voice is requested once more. Soung gets a little pride boosting. Kevin mentions his blind-box figure strategy. And you might also want to stick around for a discussion on food poisoning and Danny's real-life Shenmue experience!

San Diego Comic-Con Pt. 4 – That Puddle of Dom’s Blood

suberunker — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 05:50:34 +0000

Finally, the 4th part of our four-part San Diego Comic-Con series is here. This time, Chris is here to spend some time recollecting his first Comic-Con experience with us! Stick around after the show to hear some raw footage of how we prepare most of our shows. It is... interesting.

Stuff & Suggestions #21: Tread the Fine Water

suberunker — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:17:50 +0000

We had some awesome ribs for dinner (as well as some beers), so some of us (Kevin) were a bit more casual during the show than others. Regardless, we went through a ton of your emails and suggestions to give you more of that on-the-side, super-casual, sometimes-ridiculously-off-topic Stuff segment mayhem that you crave. Enjoy!

This week we quickly review Transformers 2, take some time to discuss our Top 5 Michael Jackson songs, and then head straight to the mailbag. It's a romp, I say!

Also check out the trailer for a new web series being created by one of our listeners: Lumina

Six Scraps #1: I’m in the Presence of Kings

suberunker — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:53:24 +0000

This week we finally have a system for going through Scraps: the Six Scraps format. We randomly pick six scraps through the show. Each Scrap is dedicated 5 minutes of time. We don't know what the scraps will be ahead of time, neither do our guest hosts! It's all just for fun and an easier way for us to get an episode finished during very busy weekends. We hope you enjoy our first attempt at Six Scraps.

suberunker — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 04:57:28 +0000

This week we go through a little discussion about what we've been up to, head into another Game Show segment, and dig through your reader mail. This week's Game Show: Dead or Alive, in which Kevin names a famous person (related to a previous episode) and everyone guesses if that person is dead or alive. We also go through a summer theme with our Top 5 Beverages. So sit back, get some sun, and enjoy!

And we also finally have the website up for Lita's research, aka The Taint Needle.

Summer Vacation

suberunker — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 08:10:11 +0000

This week we go to a topic that many of our listeners can relate to: Summer Vacation. Grounded as a United States school tradition, each one of us take a look back at our youth and rediscover some stories and personal moments that were a part of the many summer vacations. This one steps a bit back on the popular culture, though the concept does tie into many elements of popular culture (ie. Summer Movie season, Amusement parks, television reruns). So just have a cold beverage and sit back for a more personal episode with the S-Words podcast.

Stephen Colbert w/ The Smurfs and Soccer

suberunker — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 07:18:03 +0000

What? Who is this brilliant man we're talking about? Oh, it's just former Daily Show correspondent and current Colbert Report host, Stephen Colbert. I thought we were talking about RAAAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNN!!!!!! Anyways, we spent a little while talking about Mr. Colbert and then dive into some Scrap subjects for the very first time. Alex lets us know about football in Japan. Lita informs us of special eyelid surgery in Korea. Kevin mentions the always awesome 'What the Pho' mobile noodle truck in San Francisco.

So, this time Dom lets us know about his Head Chopping adventures. Alex tells us why Sumos are a surefire boost to the economy. Amy pimps her blog. And Kevin claims Chris doesn't listen to the show despite him telling us earlier that he listens to all of them (oops!).

Stuff & Suggestions #5: How Are You Doing, Dominique?

suberunker — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 05:29:07 +0000

A bunch of us attempt to crowd around some mics and we vow never to do it again until I update the equipment to handle more voices. Seriously, Dom and I thought it'd be hard to get enough people to speak for just four seats each week and now people have to trade slots. Dom lets us know about the Chinese glory hole. Soung fascinates us about a pen from Walgreens. Danny lets us know about the small hole in Steel Batallion. Lita gets excited for violent video games. And Kevin hates emotionless concert-goers.
